16/5/22: Week 3: VD15 for both. AN stands a little taller. But she comes of enzymes and TP goes on them this week, following their guidelines as far as when to give them the nutrients but I'm far of giving their recommend dose. 15.5 CM for AN GROW & 14cm for TP GROW. Both have been put into the 150x150x220 homebox and I have my 70x70x160 inside my big tent, this will allow me to keep the RH high in that tent while the photos veg and autos will be in full bloom.
17/5/22 both girls were topped above the 5th node.
18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years.
But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game. Im not going to get too boged down at the moment with VPD&kpa. As I said that's in a whole other league. Im going to run a basic VPD environment though. In heavy flower my temp will defo be in the 26-28 range as I'll have the 20L dehuimifier in my 5x5x7.
22/5/22 Solid growth coming from these 2 ladies. 15+ cm growth in a week is great. Hopefully I'll get another 4-7 days of growth before they start flowering.
@gottagrowsometime, I'm just a dirty organic farmer so I'm no help, if I ever get my big growroom built I want to try some different stuff and growing in water is one for sure... happy growing π» π
@Cyrusdavirus, Yeah, they are. Seems like I am figuring it out. Much better growth this stage compared to my 1st round. Just gotta dial in DWC now lol.
They is some lovely buds, am new to autos, amazing to see how they turn themselves, sorry I'm old school, when I was growing we had very few choices. I'm only getting back into it, think I'll stick with photos, was looking at your SLH, as I've ordered them.
Are the ambient tents that bad? I've just ordered 1? Should I cancel the order? How bad are they??????
@gottagrowsometime,
Sry, English not great. Herd to understand, marmite?
OO, phew, good. Not so bad. 120x120x220 Ambient120+. And getting FC 480w. Am for sale in my country. Get from grow shop at 1/2 price from site cost.
@backatitagain1990,
Yeah, autos are like marmite, ppl either love em or hate em. Me personally like I like them. But am wanting to move into photos. I've boat load of seeds and I've sponsored seeds I have to run in August and they autos.
Can't go wrong with a bit of Super Lemon Haze. She's a multiple cup winner.. also ethos seeds have a SLH that they have used SLH from GHS and some stuff of their own to make for a more lemony profile.
Eh, it's not a bad tent, just put together badly. I'm putting it down to been so big. Like once you unwrap it, in no way can you fold it properly to put away. And I struggled big time putting it up. It took my 3hours to put it together and I nearly broke my back. The materials are good. Plastic connectors but they are industrial, you'd need a saw to get through these things, the zips are solid. It just looks like Jimmy White played a couple rounds of darts on it now. And the velcro strap you use to seal the end of the tent is a common thing with these, i'm not a fan, it gets blocked up with hair and dirt and struggles to close properly.. and leaks light from it. Few pin holes that weren't there when I got it, but not many, there was more holes by poor quality of fit.
What size did you get?
Hey there,
Thanks a bunch for growing our genetics, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a good one
I've done the same with AN in the past poisoned a few plants in my time with AN but I still stick with em, looking forward to the end result with the terra keep it up buddy
@Aldo90, yeah. I think I screwed mine. Most of the nutrients are meant 2 be kept at 10-20c and that is a hard thing to do all the time. Terra Power can be go 2 25c. Most my nutrients hit 23c. Now idk if the temp thing matters with all the nutrients but I know it does with the enzymes.
OOO. Great, am buying a Mars setup thanks for putting up the code.
Very nice diary, am an old school grower 1st time ill be using a led. Nothing like that when I started out.
